Immortal Admiral Yi Sun-shin or Immortal Yi Soon-shin (informal US title) is a Korean television show based on the life of Admiral Yi Sun-shin. It was first broadcast in August 2004 in Korea and later in the United States near the end of August. Many times, it filmed on location at the actual battle sites. It made extensive use of rendered images and a reconstruction of a turtle ship. Due to the preparation needed, the show took many months to produce.

The drama has been the focus of some attention due to historical inaccuracies, explained away with artistic license, though it concerns some that it may be promoting itself as based on fact.[2]

When Admiral Yi is portrayed as a boy, he is shown to be a weak, shy, and lonely boy when in fact he showed leadership and creativity at an early age.

The drama generally shows Won Gyun, an incompetent Korean admiral and Admiral Yi's enemy, as a strong and smart man who leads Admiral Yi. In reality, Won Gyun intensely hated Admiral Yi and contributed to Admiral Yi's jailing. Won Gyun's portrayal has been criticized by much of the media.
